There is a Mind Diet

By: Coach, on May 22, 2018

Can you eat for a healthy mind? Research shows that eating a brain-healthy diet can help reduce Alzheimer’s risk. In addition, these foods work to boost overall cognitive and mental health. This MIND diet combines many important elements of two other popular nutrition plans proven to benefit heart health: the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay.

Not only is this diet for reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s, but it is also an overall good diet for giving you a good balance that is healthy and beneficial to your whole body.

How to Eat on the MIND Diet

Mixed greens and spinach work well with this.

Beans – at least 3 servings a week.

Berries – 2 or more servings a week

Whole grains – 3 or more servings a day.
